Brilliant fall foliage! We bet that’s the very first thing that would pop into your mind if we asked you why you would want to have a wedding in the fall. Well, a fall wedding is indeed a “brilliant” choice!
Fall can provide numerous benefits for your wedding, and here are just a few of them.
Weather-Wise Months
It might be a welcome relief when the weather begins to cool after the scorching heat of summer. After months of blasting the air conditioning, the arrival of autumn ushers in cooler breezes, allowing you to finally keep the windows open.
Nevertheless, the weather is notoriously unpredictable at this time of year, so be forewarned! In early fall, there will be warm and sunny days—generally pleasant weather, although with the frequent possibility of clouds and showers. As the season progresses, the temperature begins to drop. Overcast, damp, and wet days predominate later in the fall season. There will be the possibility of storms too, so it’s a good idea to keep an eye on the local weather forecasts.
Simply put, if you’re planning an outdoor wedding in the fall, we recommend doing so early in the season. In addition, you should always have an alternate plan, in case of bad weather!
Harvest Days (Fresh Seasonal Fruits And Vegetables)
The fall harvest offers a wide range of delectable and nutritious produce. Even though we can now buy almost any fruit or vegetable at any time of the year, nothing beats the sensation of reconnecting with the natural environment and its seasons. And there’s no better way to savor the fall season than by feasting on its bounty.
For many people, “fall” means apple picking, food festivals, and (of course) drinking enormous amounts of pumpkin spice lattes! A fall wedding affords the opportunity to incorporate some of these pleasant associations between “fall” and “food”. Why not make your guests drool over scrumptious seasonal dishes prepared with an autumn theme?
Warm color schemes, rich flavors, cozy moods, and embracing the season are all important elements of a fall wedding, and the food you serve should reflect this. A feast of harvest delicacies will complement your fall wedding perfectly!
Goldilocks Temperature
“Not too chilly, not too hot” – who hasn’t wished for such weather on their wedding day?
Fall is the transitional season between summer and winter. It’s a sign that summer is coming to an end and that the colder months are on their way. Summer and winter both have their advantages, but the moderate temperatures of the fall will make you and your guests more comfortable!
Spectacular Photographs
Because the weather in the fall is nearly perfect, your photographer will be able to get breathtaking outdoor shots without dealing with temperatures that are either too cold or too hot. It is, without a doubt, everyone’s favorite season, particularly for photographers. With the rapidly changing scenery and spectacular landscapes, fall provides a diverse range of photographic opportunities.
As memories of the long summer days pass, photographers will definitely want to capture new stunning pictures on your wedding day, full of color and mood.
Off-season Prices
Summer weddings are absolutely gorgeous, but finding dates with your favorite venues and vendors (while staying within your budget) can be tough. The peak wedding season runs from late spring through late summer. During the peak season, suppliers and venues usually raise their rates, but as fall approaches, you’ll see them dropping again.
Diverse Choice of Apparel
The choice of apparel for a wedding usually reflects the weather of the season. Summer necessitates light, airy fabrics, while winter necessitates a few extra layers. The unpredictable nature of fall weather can present a challenge! For example, for a fall wedding, you may expect a cool evening, but the day could be warm and dry, with a sliver of sun. What to wear? You’ll need to find outfits that can be adjusted to a wide range of temperatures. This may not be easy. However, seen from another angle, it would also allow you to choose from a wider range of dress styles and accessories, too!
Attendance of Important Guests
Spring and summer weddings can be challenging because of people’s vacation plans. During the winter, conflicts with people’s Thanksgiving and Christmas schedules crop up regularly. However, weddings in the fall have fewer such calendar conflicts—which means that fall airfares also tend to be cheaper. In turn, cheaper airfares make the attendance of more out-of-town guests possible by alleviating their budget concerns.
Ideal Season For Elopements
Fall paints an idyllic and naturally gorgeous backdrop for weddings, making it perfect if you are planning an elopement wedding.
Eloping has a very romantic vibe to it. Imagine being married in your dream location at an intimate and meaningful ceremony. The focus is on just the two of you (except, of course, for a few special people you couldn’t imagine leaving behind!)
Many couples also elope to save money, since there are usually fewer guests at an elopement wedding than a traditional wedding. That’s certainly a good point to consider!
Considering the above reasons for having a “brilliant” fall wedding, what’s holding you back?
